My suggestion : Kuma will beat the whole crew unconscious and a second before he starts to take their heads maybe dragon..no..he's too far awaye..maybe the mysterious "Dadan" will appear and save them.

So... who will appear in the middle of Thriller Bark and give a hand (or having another intentions) facing Kuma?

I predict one of the 4 emperors will do something to avoid Kuma vs. Strawhats battle. Shanks said some chapters ago that he sacrified his arm for the new era (in other words, he saved Luffy for the new era), so he won't let Luffy die so soon.

Usually in fights after everyone reached their limit and a new enemy appears they wont be able to take on the enemy at full strength so i agree someone will come to save them. Or you can always give Luffy some food lol.

Well, the worst case scenario has been turned into reality. Years after Crocodile's defeat, Oda finally decided to satisfy the readers' hunger for Shichibukais by pinning not one, but two Shichibukais against the Straw Hats in the same arc.

Who knows, maybe Jimbei will show up during the next chapter and join the fun!

There is no possible way for the Straw Hats to win against Kuma. Franky is out of fuel, Luffy is completely unconscious, all the straw hats are dead tired. So yes, SOMEBODY FROM SOMEWHERE will PROBABLY show up in the next chapter or so to save the Straw Hats.

Then again, Oda may make One Piece a bit more interesting. Kuma apparently possesses teleportation ability, correct? A fun scenario would be teleporting all straw hat members into different corners of Grand Line. All the Straw Hat members would be forced to battle for their individual survival, gathering new allies and attempt to reassemble. That certainly would be interesting.

Yeah, I'm thinking, and hoping of something along these lines. Perhaps it'll just be Zoro who'll be teleported to some random place (or even Impel Down) while the rest of the SH narrowly escapes. Then they'll have a renewed purpose while going into the new world, relocating one of their vanished nakama.

Or not, either way, I'm holding my breath until the next chapter. This was too awesome for my tiny mind to cope with.

Yeah, it's getting more interesting now, best part (by far) of the thriller bark arc in my opinion.
Straw hats are in big trouble now, the only thing i don't want to happen is : kuma teleports each character to different places and then the crew would have to find each others. If that happens, i would really lose interest in one piece.

So any help to them is fine to me ;^)
But i doubt hogback and absalom could be of any help, i just don't know for what purpose Oda brought them back to the story. (i hate most of thriller's bark characters)
